Summary - Appartment 10, The Old Chapel, Grove Road WF1 1UW
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Central Wakefield apartment with character and allocated parking.
- First‑floor one bed in converted Victorian chapel
A bright one‑bed apartment set within a converted Victorian chapel, offered for sale by auction with a guide price of £62,000. The flat sits on the first floor and benefits from high ceilings, arched windows and an unusually generous living room for this size. Allocated off‑street parking and central Wakefield location make it convenient for city amenities and transport links.
This is a straightforward purchase for a first‑time buyer or a buy‑to‑let investor who values character and location over turnkey finish. The accommodation appears liveable but would benefit from cosmetic updating; the property is heated by electric room heaters so factor running costs into ongoing budgets. The leasehold cost profile is low for ground rent (£1) and modest service charge (£250), but buyers must allow for the auction contract documentation fee of £1,500 payable to the auctioneer and any additional seller fees set out in the legal pack.
Important practical points: the property will be sold at auction (14th October 2025) and is chain‑free, so completion times are driven by auction terms. The building is a solid‑brick conversion likely without modern cavity insulation, and mains services have not been independently tested — a survey is recommended if you plan a refurbishment or long‑term occupation. Note the local crime level is recorded as very high, which may affect rental demand and insurance costs.
For investors, the low guide price and central location could deliver a competitive yield after refurbishment; for owner‑occupiers this is a low‑cost route into Wakefield with characterful living space. Review the legal pack and auction conditions carefully before bidding.
